"A lot of consumer insights have been incorporated in terms of design aesthetics, comfort, and usability of these earbuds," said Aditya Babbar, general manager, Mobile Business, Samsung India.

Music can be uploaded to the earbuds wirelessly or from the phones and PCs using a USB cable.

Gear IconX additionally comes with fast-charging and battery life of up to five hours of music streaming or seven hours of standalone music playback and its case works as a power bank for the earbuds for urgent charging.

The earbuds can be synced with the 'pace-setter' feature on Samsung's health platform allowing the users to choose from already existing activity programs including light walking and speed endurance to custom creating programs on their smartphone.

Gear IconX is available in black colour at major retail outlets, Samsung's online shop and Flipkart.
